If fact, I've never even gotten into a fistfight. But I do like to punch things. Lately, however, I'm less Canelo Alvarez and more George Foreman. Sadly, I haven't been to my boxing gym in well over a month. My brain can feel it, my body can feel it, my heart and soul can feel it. I don't feel anywhere's near "myself". Things need to change.

These days thousands of listeners come to our website and read the blogs we all write but in the beginning, not as many people even knew we were writing and didn't get to see some of the best things we have written about.

I hope that you find them as useful and as interesting as I did when I wrote them.
